This week we read the first the first five chapters of the book Understand comics by Scott McCloud. The most interesting thing this reading addresses is how important perception is to us. Comic books point out how often we use perception with out noticing it. We do it different ways also, like filling in context from one part to the next.We realize that there is a logical step in between actions that was taken. Another way is we realize that things that may be exactly the same or very similar can be very different, like how McCloud explained that lines can symbolize many different things in different context, when a pipe has smoke coming out or when a garbage can has a foul odor. This both use the same lines but with the context in the drawing we can make connection that ones referring to the smoke and the other is referring to trash.
